If I remember correctly the basics from what I was taught some 50 years ago, keeping the sound emitted from the back of the speaker from reaching the front and cancelling out the front wave improved the bass response significantly and thus baffling was important, especially at low frequencies. Unfortunately the large expanse of wood forming the baffle, unless very stiff (thick), would also radiate the sound and defeat the baffling.  But putting insulation on the walls, inside the speaker, prevented the rear wave from reaching the wood and mitigated the problem without the expense of thicker wood.The tender body will radiate some of the sound but it does not have the area that a 24 by 18 by 48 inch speaker enclosure would have, so I would not expect stuffing fibre-glass or sound deadening material behind the speaker would improve the bass much.Of course that was the theory back then, but neither ears nor speakers have changed much through the years.Art
